Amazon Kindle 2 Handheld Reviews

I am the kind of person who has always lugged several books around everywhere I go {uber book geek}.  I distinctly remember struggling with my luggage and a easily-ten pound Patricia Cornwell anthology on a previous trip to Chicago in an effort to avoid taxi fare {cheap}.  While I enjoy sitting in my library surrounded by volumes of well-loved novels, I can just as easily be satiated with the occasional unbound digital versions of forgettable yet satisfying books that don't necessarily require a second reading (i.e., Dan Brown and John Grisham, of late) {lover of new technology}.  And...

The Kindle 2 is the best thing out there for digital books. There is nothing like it, and you are able to put more books on it that you can read in a year!  It frees up space when you travel, especially if you are an avid book reader and can't go without one with you. The ability to download a book and be able to read it within 5 minutes is so awesome. There is nothing like it, and I cannot do without mine. Anyone who loves to read will love this little device.

The Kindle 2 takes an already great product and makes it even better. The text to speech is really great for people who can't read in the car, for example. Easy to read the screen, and the changeable font size is a great feature - especially for those who need reading glasses. Forget your glasses? Make the font bigger and you can still read clearly. Being able to download a new book or magazine at any time is also a great feature. Even in an area where cell phone coverage is not great, I get a great signal on my Kindle. Some features are still a little klunky - like the "Experimental" area where...

When we purchased the Kindle we didn't really know what to expect.  The Kindle is light weight, slim and is very easy to download the book you want to read.

It is compact and easy to store so you can take it almost anywhere.  To work, shopping or even while traveling on a plane.  If available, you can download your school book - what a great idea.  No waiting in lines, waiting for the mail to receive a book that has been beaten up and seen better days!

They have come out with a newer version so either way you can expect to get a great product from Kindle.  We purchased ours on Amazon and received...

I really love the text to speech on my Kindle. It allows me to multi-task at least doubling what I can address in any given amount of time. The ear plugs allow me to use the text to speech function when I am out and about.

The prices on books and periodicals are more than fair.

My kindle is always next to me at home and in my bag when I am away.  As far as I'm concerned it is the neatest thing since electricity.

The Kindle is even better than I expected. I am reading more because it is easier to use. I can change the type size and it is easier to read in low light. I travel quite a bit and it makes all the difference having a lighter alternative to a book.
